Best car for a short person

Question

I'm 16 and i'm 4'10" and i'm getting a car soon but i'm not sure what would be best for me-

a small car like a mini cooper

or a small jeep like the ford escape

i haven't driven either so i dont know...but i like the way both cars look but the problem is that i'm afraid i wont be able to see w/ a small car or the jeep might be too big

and..are all minis manuel? if it is forget..

any other suggestions for a good car for a short teenager that isn't too pricey?

thanks!!

Answer 1

you may want to practice in a small car but the more familiar you get with driving you'll realize that it's not the size that's important.

increasing your skill and comfort factor is the key.

mazda miata

or Mazda3

Answer 2

Go with Something foreign and nothing american made like a honda,nissan,a bmw mini sounds good oh and by the way a ford escape is not a jeep! it is a Compact SUV use your head!!!

Answer 3

The Pontiac Vibe sits you up higher than most cars of its size, plus it has 54 cubic feet of cargo room and gets VERY impressive gas mileage.

Answer 4

Mini Cooper would be the best choice. They come in stick and auto.

They can get expensive though if you add too many options. But I think it would be a good fit for a girl such as yourself.

Answer 5

If your 4'10'' then you shouldn't be driving a car..........you should just ride a horse like Napolean and Hitler............

Answer 6

Im 5' 1" and got a used honda civic

minis are way too small, and you dont want to end up in an accident in one (your first car remember)

suv's (ford escape is not a jeep) are not good for first time drivers, for a whole lot of reasons, that even certain EXPERIENCED driving adults should forget about having
